Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

I think Feledy will be in the team from round 13 onwards I think he will be a first grade player for a long time will press for origin in years to come

That's a big call.

He's on my radar now.

I agree with all of this except your final two sentences.
Mitch left in the worst way possible.
He threw games and faked mental health conditions to gain his release.

I’m not singling out your post. Rather using it to make a general point for those in the Moses = bad camp.

Firstly, I can understand the hate. I was pretty annoyed by the whole thing myself at the time, but can we all imagine that we were eternally judged by one thing we did in our 20’s and were completely written off for all time?

I think some leeway is needed for dumb things people do when they’re young. He’s been a relative cleanskin since then and seems to have matured as a footballer. We might be getting a better version of him?

I really don't believe that Doehi is asking for anything near $900,000 but if he is then he certainly has his self belief working.

Mate alot of it not most of them are on ridiculous money for their output - but if they can get it can't blame them.

You missed the point

No I think you missed the point last year’s medical team were hopeless.
Do you think that if Ken didn’t play it would have effected our position on the ladder.

If MM is getting snared for that AD is zero chance of getting close to that from any club to play in the halves.

A strike centre would be pushing 700k with cap changes, AD doesn't have runs on the board as a strike centre so he would be in for a reality check if the reported 900k is on the mark (which I doubt is the case).

Most strike centres in the game are playing fullback barring Manu ....and he is a fullback in waiting

Just on Douehi - friend told me he made a speech at end of year school assembly at his old school last week and also where his little sister now attends. Apparently was beyond impressive - and a very honest account of how he wasnt that good at sport and only got some self belief after encouragement from his then sports teacher. Regardless of what happens with the club in the future and on the footy field, very decent young fella off it.

Thx mate.

This is about the men that we want to be in battle with.

AD is critical to creating a great culture that is all for the club and its fans.

 

[Spartan117]

I'm sick of loosing.

If Moses is genuinely on the market, the we need a quality #7.

 

[happy_tiger]

A lot of people only remember AD's football from this season gone. Coming back fro a ACL is a long and slow road
I want to see what he delivers in 2023 before writing him off. He would be a great captain as he has passion in his belly, finding the right position for him to play will be the challenge

2nd ACL as well SC .....even harder again ....not many make it back after 3 ...that has to enter his mind regularly

Well that’s easy to say in hindsight isn’t it? We should have just given up in round 1, it wouldn’t have changed our position anyway.

The fact he is already training suggests there were no long term effects of him pushing through his injury, unless you have evidence to prove otherwise?

Reported 900k : surely that's a joke hey.

I don't understand why everyone thinks this is a joke. It's been reported on here from people who I don't think are full of it AD and Hastings were both after that amount and maybe more.

I can't stand him but I agree with you.

I saw some one call him the Lebanese Mbye and although I think he has the potential to be better than Mbye, it seems to becoming true.

This is starting to sound about right isn't it. Maybe he turns it around this season but I can see him being a decent 14.

[tigermate]

Think everyone should chill on Mitch.

Beware the dogs.

Hope I’m wrong.

AD on $750,000, will not get a half, fullback or centre position in 2024. Imagine a move to the forwards, if he muscles up and learns how to tackle, then maybe $500,000.

 

[earl]

😂😂😂

You deliberately misquoted me there.

I'm not someone who believes dribble on here easily but in this instance I'm positive they were both after massive salaries that they didn't deserve especially Doueihi.

I don't think we'll get him but I don't care that much. I'd prefer him here but on the salary we will have to pay him I'm not sure if it's worth it.

I'm stoked about getting IP, Api and Klemmer though. If we get Bateman and he performs that'll make a difference as well.

This. A lot of people (Brooks fans) like to forget that AD was by far our best player in 2021 when he was playing 5/8 and was still dangerous behind a beaten pack unlike Brooks.

It will have been well over a year since his surgery and this will likely be his first offseason training at 5/8. I think people will be in for a surprise in 2023 with AD as our 5/8.

 

[sleeve]

I don't think most on the forum thought he was our best player. And the fact he has not got a contract for 2023, would suggest our coaches don't rate him to highly either !

When I see AD I think of Yeo, similar size, similar running style. I think he could make a modern day lock and play that link role. Also it a little easier defending the middle than on a edge. Probably will not happen if Bateman comes and we still need a no6 for 2023, so I guess he will play that role
